Bambi knows best
Bambi Fransisco makes the case for Google needing its own IM client. At the end of her piece she coyly says that Yahoo tried to buy Skype earlier last month, but the deal fell through.
Is this a hint recommending Google grab onto Skype? She wouldn’t be the first in the blogosphere to point in this direction…(sorry, too lazy to go find the 3–4 links I’ve seen this idea tossed around).
